Health and Safety at Work
Health and Safety at Work is chiefly concerned with the prevention of injury, or disease to people at work and those who visit the workplace.
Legal responsibilities are placed on employers, including the self employed, employees and manufacturers of equipment, as well as those who fit and maintain it.
In Northern Ireland, Local Authority Environmental Health Officers are responsible for enforcing this legislation in retail, wholesale and office premises.
The Health and Safety Executive for Northern Ireland (HSENI) deal with other premises eg. factories and manufacturing premises. Click here for link to HSENI website.
